' IMPRQVVBD LOOKING- GLASS.

TO ALL WHOM VIT MAY 'CONCERNE Be it known that I, URBAN\A..WO0DBURY,- of Morrisvillmin the county of Lamoille, and in thc Stute of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in LookingGlasscs; enddo hereby dechire that the following is e. full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had'to the accompanying drawings,

and to the letters of reference marked thereon. 4 l y In the'annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A and B represent two lookin gglasses, of any Vnenni construction,` and ofreny desirable size.

C may represent a. well, to which` the glass, A, is secured. This glass is intended to be stationary, while the glass, B, will be movable and adjustable. Secured to the upper-,edge of the frame of glass, A,`is a jointedor hinged bar, D, which said bar is mede as long as may he suitable,4 so that when the glass, B, is hung to its outer end there wil he sufficient roem for a person using the two glasses to stand between `them and dress with, ense and comfort.

G represents a. pin or small shaft, which is connected to the back of the glass, B, and which extends n little above its upperredge at its centre. This shaft or pin is provided with, an arm, E, which is hinged ,to the outer end of the bar D, as seen at a.

Extending downward from the ends of the-erm E and the har D are the arms I and J. I To the arm I is.

pivoted 'n rack-bar, H, which seid bnr passes through a. slot in the arm d, and catches with' itsteeth upon'nl suitable tooth or shoulder in seidy slot. The ohjectof this hinge at a and the rack-bnr H is that the glass, B, may be adjusted'nnd held at any desirable englcwith the glass, A, so that the person using the glasses can see theback of their head or any portion of the back oitheir person. The shaft Gr is so connected to the glass, B, that said glass can be revolved about said shaft. The glass, B, is thus capable of several adjustments-#one by .the use of the hinges of the har D; another by the use of the hingeat a and the rack-bar H, and another by turning it partially around in either direction upon its shaft, G. A

The bar D, being provided with several hinged sections, ycan be readily folded up and removed out of the way st pleasure. v

The lower portion of the frame of glass, A, can he placed in a. socket, or be hinged so that its upper edge may he adjusted to or from the walh'ssid upper edge being connected to the wall either by means of an adjustable ber or a cord or chain.

These glasses thus arranged will be of-greet service to ladies in making their toilets, as they can, by snit able adjustments, as readily see the back as the front of their person. One of these glasses-will be fitted, when they are folded one within the frame of the thc'r, so that they will havo-the appearance of only one glass.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claimcs new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

The shaft or 'pin G, with its arm E and armll, connected to glass, B, and to bar D in such a manner that the glass csnlwhe revolved or adjusted and held et any desirable angle to the bar D and glass, A, es and for the purpose herein set forth. A i

In testimony that I claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 8th day of April, 1868.
